Anika’s Thoughts of the week 12

Today, as you may or may not know, is Mother’s Day in the UK (I know it’s not the same in the US but am not sure if we are unique in celebrating it in this particular day).

It’s a day when, if you have lost achild/ren, it’s a difficult one. It doesn’t feel right because we instinctively think no child should die before their parents but it DOES happen. Now I know that I am fortunate to have our son Johnathan here with us and not in heaven yet with his siblings.

I am still in hospital but due to go home on Thursday. So I said to Kevin Johnathan could make me a card (physically or digitally - I didn’t specify which) and ai would see it on Thursday when I get home.

So I was not expecting a big pink box to arrive with the card and balloon you have seen with this post. These are happy photos of the two of us together Kevin has chosen to include on the card.

The thoughtfulness, compassion and care my husband and son show to me is amazing. All this on Mother’s Day! I could have waited but they decided to send it to me anyway.

TREASURE

Thoughtfulness, compassion and care combined with love are vital ingredients in any situation. And is something we both need to and receive.
